Professional Development workshops are invitation-only events for Educational Impact Fellows. Sessions are facilitated by Fellowship staff, affiliated faculty and their research teams, and colleagues from the Graduate School of Education and beyond. All facilitators bring both deep subject-matter expertise and a shared commitment to mentoring undergraduate Fellows through engaging, supportive, and practice-oriented learning experiences.
